Partnership expansion for Voith’s Nipco rollers


V


oith’s Nipco rollers have been installed in Guarneri Technology calender systems for


different industrial applications for many years. Originally working successfully in textiles and technical textiles they more recently have been used in the processing of nonwovens and in thermo-bonding. Now Voith Paper Walztechnik


AG, based in Zurich, is further expanding its cooperation with Guarneri Technology worldwide. In 2018, Voith took over the sales activities for Guarneri Technology in the German- speaking area. “Many years of successful


cooperation with Guarneri Technology and the access by


already over the past year. Several calender systems with Nipco rollers are the result of this cooperation.


“In addition, the worldwide


Elmatex to the German-speaking textile market have moved us to this step,” says Harald Gruber, managing director of Voith Paper Walztechnik AG. “With the experience of well-


known Italian calender builder Elmatex’s established market references and the combination with our Nipco roller systems, we have achieved a partnership whose benefits our customers


cooperation between Voith Paper Walztechnik and Guarneri Technology will be further expanded. The ever increasing demand for reliable calendering systems with optimal process control shows that the flexibility of Nipco rolls is a prerequisite for high reproducibility in the calendering process in these markets.” With a view to further expanding this partnership, Elmatex, Guarneri Technology and Voith Paper Walztechnik AG will co- operate at a number of trade fairs in 2019.


Making paper mills smarter and more sustainable


End-to-end paper making technologies that make mill’s production smarter and more sustainable have been launched by Voith in the US. David Buchanan, president


of Voith Paper in North America, said: “From spare parts, fabrics and rolls, paper machine rebuilds, stock preparation systems, complete paper machines and secure digitalization to customized service packages – we help our customers strengthen their papermaking processes to serve their customers.” New this year are innovations


that: ● Enhance paper operations and maintenance With CleanLine traversing cleaning systems, visitors can


capacity up to 15 per cent. ● Improve paper quality The DuoShake, an advancement of conventional breast roll shaking technology, emits frequencies that were previously unattainable, allowing it to create a more homogenous distribution of fibres while reinforcing the orientation of the fibres in cross direction. Other new launches include


see a cost-effective solution to reduce the effects of contamination. ● Increase capacity The SmoothRun hydropneumatic damping bearing system for


winders effectively reduces vibrations occurring during the winding process and allows for higher operating speeds and better winding results. This compact winder upgrade can increase


Voith‘s OnCumulus IIoT cloud platform which optimises efficiency, maintenance and performance using advanced analytics and data harmonisation enterprise-wide for one central, secure approach to digitalisation, and ‘Drive’, which is Voith’s real time adaptive 4.0 training system for providing enterprise-wide 4.0 digitalisation.
